[Isis-users] MARC - worksheet field 8

[Hessels, Peter]

Dear all,

We are working at the University of the Netherlands Antilles for the libraries of Dutch Caribbean Library Association on setting up ABCD for a number of libraries in the region.
The libraries will be using the MARC databases structure. Two questions come up:

1)    When editing or creating a MARC record, the worksheet for field 8 ("fixed length") does not come up. It gives the message "language material. (a) bk_8.fdt". I have checked the file structure and could see that the file bk_8.fdt is in the file system (in www/bases/marc/def/en). When I open this file in an editor it looks OK to me. What could be wrong?

2)    I want to create a simplified worksheet, having the most common fields on top, the least used fields in a "collapsible" area under these fields. What are the steps to do this?

Any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Peter

Dear all,

We are working at the University of the Netherlands Antilles for the libraries of Dutch Caribbean Library Association on setting up ABCD for a number of libraries in the region.
In customization a number of questions arise:

-      Profiles and users: we want to create profiles, which works OK. When creating a user, we want to add more than one profile to the user (as has been done for some existing users). Using the radio buttons, only one profile can be attributed to the user. How can you add more profiles to a user?

-      When copying a record using Z39.50 from LOC to a MARC database, an error occurs: the record cannot be saved. The problem is that filed 245 (title statement) is not converted correctly. After copying, field 245 is filled with "00_Textoftitle", it should have been: "  ^aTextoftitle". Is this a general problem? How to correct this?
Any suggestions?

Kind regards,
Peter Hessels, KIT
